They Handle Millions.

An institution that figures promi-
nently in the growth and progress of
the city of st. Paul is the Merchants
National bank. Starting fifteen years
ago with capital of 100000, this bank
has steadily risen in Importance to its
present high position as one of the fore
most in the West. Its volume of bust
ness is to-day something immense, as
the following figures will show: The
average deposits for the year
1887 were s., 100000; discounts ran
up to S3,9OO,000, and the exchange
sales aggregated grand total
of SAG, 800, 900, against about 40,000,0 900
last year. The capital is now 81 ,0O0, 900,
with a surplus of 500, 600. The last six
months business has been the heaviest
the bank has ever known. the earnings
amounting to over 100000. Such
showing is entirely creditable, and one
any banking institution in the country
would be glad to make. Continued
prosperity has not made the officers in
different to the public, and their pop
ularity both in business way and so
cially is great. The president, w.
r. Merriam, is perhaps as
we'll known as any man in the North
west. He rose to the position from an
humble capacity by degrees, his ability
as manager OF finances being early
recognized. And Mr.. Merriam is not
only financial but a great political
power in Minnesota to-day. Associated
with him in the management of the
bank are c. II. BigelOw, president of the
st. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance COM
pany, vice president; F. A. Seymour,
cashier, and George G. Power, assistant
cashier, whose many good qualities
are known and appreciated by the
hundreds whom business brings them
into contact with. The directors are
among the WealthieSt of st. PauPs citi-
ZenS. Indeed, the individual wealth
represented by the directory of the Mer
chants National bank would aggregate,
if carefully reckOned, away up into the
millions. They arc: w. S. CulbertsOn,

bach, d. r. Moves, f. n. Saunders, J.
Il. AVerill, John L. Merriam, A. B.
Stickney, A. IL. Wilder, w. r. Merri-
am, G. III. BigelOw.
The last statement of the bank, which
was given Dec. z, indicated an unusual
degree of prosperity. Its great popu-
larity with the business men of st.
Paul is not altogether due to its solidity.
No bank ever maintained the reputa-
ton which the Merchants National has
to-day, by more conservative business
methods. 1t is the spirit of fairness
the straightforward style of dealing
with their patrons that makes bank
popular these days.

One of the Elegant.

Among the handsomest and most pop
ular places for refreshment in the city
of St. Paul is Robinson & Rowe'S, at %
East Fourth, near the GLOBE building.
The large room is richly, but very taste
fully decorated, the lofty ceiling and
walls displaying unique designs and
odd cOnceits done in the most
elegant styles known to the deco
ratOrS' art. And the entire finish of
the place-the carved wood work, mir
rOrS, glassware, carpets, furnituTe-iS
in perfect harmony. Though the house
has been open only since September. no
better trade or class of tradeis attracted
to any house in the city. The choice
liquors and polite attendance which
people always appreciate are features
at Robinson Il R0we'S. The excellence
of the liquors dispensed here is known
and recognized. Mr.. Robinson and his
able assistant, Tommy" Gould, have
hosts of friends all over the Northwest,
whose good will is attested by the fire.

OTHER THRIVING SUBURBS.
Another prosperous suburb is st. Paul
Park. This suburb is the infant of the
lot, and a healthy infant it is. too. The
1st of July the st. Paul Park Land CON-
pany began active operations, and to-
day they have no less than 8 factories,
with capacity of $50 workmen; 4 hO-
tells, rs dwelling houses and s stores,
with unusually flattering prospects for
the ensuing year. The sum invested in
buildings during these five months is
about S2S0.000. One thousand two hum
dred acres are included in the cOmpany'S
tract, divided into three divisions OF 400
acres each-one for suburban. resi-
dences, another for factories andfa third
for the homes of the wOrkmen.
South Park, too, has prOspered to the
tune of S13S,000: Newport has new
buildings to the amount of S33,2e0;
InYer Grove to the sum of S24, 200; and
Lincoln Park has twenty dwellings and
one depot erected during the summer at
a cost of $4,000.
This outside growth is something mar
velous, but it is at the same time but
the common experience in the history
of all large cities that suburban towns,
within easy reach of the business pOr-
ton of the large city, will rise, thrive
and become an integral part tof the
parent city. st. Paul has no reason to
be ashamed of the first years record in
the matter of suburban towns. Add to
the ones already mentioned, Merriam
Park, Manchester, Union Park, st. An
thOny Park, Hamline and other inter-
urban points, and no one need want a
pleasant home outside and far from the
noise and hustle of great city.

cause OF some inconvenience, and, OF
course, decreased greatly the quantity
of lumber in the market. Everything
promises well for next season. 1t is
predicted that St. Paul will experience
the greatest boom in building during
1888 that she has ever had. See what
some of the dealers have to say about
the lumber business of the past year
and their expectations for the coming
season.
WHAT THEY SAY.
Jefferson d kaSSOn-We had an ele-
giant trade until Oct. l, when, through
the tightening of the money market,
business dropped off nearly altogether.
We ran short in some kinds of lumber.
There was plenty of green lumber in
the market, but we experienced some
trouble in filling orders for the dry. The
outlook for next year is good. There
will be great deal of building done in
st. Paul next year, mostly of frame
houses.
c. n. Nelson Lumber Comparative
do altogether a wholesale trade. Our
shipments during the year 1887 have
been very large. There has been q
slight decline IN business since the 1st
of November. We do but little trading
in ST. Paul. We had no trouble what
ever In getting logs 10 our mills, elIner
at Cloquet or Lakeland. Our total ship
ments for the year will amount to
about 10000, 900 feet.
Samuel Judd, formerly general man
ager of the Marine Lumber Company
This has been a very prosperous season
in the lumber business. The water was
very low in the spring, and, as conse-
quence, 10000 900 to S0.000,000 feet of
logs were hung up in the st. Croix. The
stock of dry lumber next spring will be
light and prices will range higher.
Green lumber will probably command
the same prices as at present. Three
hundred million feet of lumber will
be sold next season in st. Paul.
Thomas Brennan-This has been an
unusually good year for those who were
fortunate enough not to have their logs
hung up. Other years we had difficulty
in selling our lumber. This year we
have had no trouble whatever. Up to
this year the supply was greater than
the demand; this year the demand was
greater than the supply. If we have an
open winter, as predicted, trade will
not be as good next year as this. / have
sold 100000 feet of lumber this sea-

This is a showing of an increase of a
little less than p per cent over the pre-
ceding year. The. thousand and odd
establishments give employment to
nearly $4,000 men. Next year the Wis
cOnSin Central Railroad company will
put in shops at North st. Paul, which
will neceSSitate an expenditure of OTer
100000 and provide employment for
ninety or more men. The manufacture
ing tendency seems to be toward the
new suburbs. The slaughtering and
packing industry is assuming cOnsid-
cradle magnitude, and the stock yards,
for slaughtering and dressing meat, is
looked upon as one of the most impOr-
tant institutions of the city.

About this time the pretty f1irt
Thinks of the men she's Tilted;
Her mind in fancy does revert
To flowers long since wilted.
She thinks she'd like diamond ring,
Or necklace made of corals,
And so it's policy to bring
An end to all her quarrels.
To all she's snubbed she's penitent-
To all she's very pleasant,
Apologies by scores are sent,
And each brings in present

been done under the supervision of the
board of public works and the city en-
gineer of st. Paul during the present
year. In round numbers III miles Of
Street have been paved, 6615 miles of
street graded, Is miles of sewers con-
structed, and A. miles of sidewalks laid.
The cedar block paving, which has been
used on all business streets, cost S277,-
74O; the asphalt paving used on
Dayton, Holly, Portland and West
ern avenues cost S152.415; the pine
block paving us ed on Oakland avenue
and on Summit, from Wabasha to Mel
son, cost $40, 700; and granite block paw
ing, used for short distances on Prince
and Robert streets, $1,000; making the
total expenditures for paving, $3.50, SS5.
The total cost of the 6615 miles of street
grading is sl,175,019. The largest of
these contracts were the grading of Ed
gertOn street, from Decatur to Mary
land, S49,924: Fillmore avenue, from
Dakota to State, $3.50; the upper
levee, from Chestnut to James street,
SG6,674; Maryland street, from Como to

from Dale to Lexington, s11,S45;
Summit avenue, from Lexington to
the Mississippi river, SCI, ZOO; State
street, from the levee to Isabel, S66, 126.
For the thirteen miles of sewers laid, the
cost was S3S6,SS4. The Trout Brook
sewer, extending from Fourth to Sey-
enth street and then ce to Lafayette
avenue, which was half paid flor by
the Northern Pacific railroad, cost 1885,
95S. The contract price for the sewer
OH Seventh street, from Hope to Phalen

forty-five miles of sidewalks, s55, OO8. 90

some other of the Eastern watering
places. In these days it was con-
sidered quite the thing. at least
among society people, to go East and
spend their vacations, to say nothing
of their money. No one even thought
of such thing as to while away the
summer months at their own hands or
in the immediate vicinity of the same.
Of late years, however, the people have
got bravely over the Eastern craze, re-
manned at home and enjoyed the fresh
air and delightful resorts that environ
st. Paul.
The climate of st. Paul in summer is
pleasant and agreeable. The atmoS-
phere is light and bracing, and pc
culiarly suited to those who are troubled
with weak lungs. Large numbers of
Southern people visit the city every
summer to drink in some of the balmy,

in the past, when a belt of low
swampy land near the river, with a
high wooded bluff in the back
ground, was all that stood for the West
st. Paul of to-day. Near as it was to the
city, the uninviting low ground pre-
vented people from building either upon
it or the bluffs in the rear, until some
four or five years ago, when the Mime
sofa 81 Northwestern opened up their
line through the place. A great building
boom then set in, which has continued
ever since. Last year the building OPP
eratiOns amounted to something like
S00,0C0-sO great was the rush for the
delightful residence property along the
bluffs, and for sites for business blocks
on the lower ground. This boom has
not decreased during 1887. On the con-
trary fully as much has been invested
in buildings, while in addition the street
car line has been extended from the
Robert street bridge out to Concord. as
far as Cambridge, and many miles of
street have been graded. The effect of
this has been to encourage building in
that portion of the city, and now South
Robert and Concord streets compare very
favOrably with Dakota avenue in the
size and quality of the buildings that
adorn both sides of these streets. Dur
ing the year no less than fifteen fine
blocks and residences were erected at a
cost of from $4,000 to $4,000. But this
is not all; some $50 buildings were put
up at cost of from 500 to $4,000.
Many factories, too, have been started
during the year, and, taken all in all,
the progress of West st. Paul has
equaled that of any other part of this
great city.
